Insolence Toward God’s Will (Genesis 27:1-40)

The law of the Lord is perfect,    refreshing the soul.The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy,    making wise the simple.The precepts of the Lord are right,    giving joy to the heart.The commands of the Lord are radiant,    giving light to the eyes.The fear of the Lord is pure,    enduring forever.The decrees of the Lord are firm,    and all of them are righteous. They are more precious than gold,    than much pure gold;they are sweeter than honey,    than honey from the honeycomb.By them your servant is warned;    in keeping them there is great reward. Psalm 19:7-11 Sermon Notes

Staying Focused on God’s Grace (Genesis 26:1-35)

Where can I go from your Spirit?    Where can I flee from your presence?If I go up to the heavens, you are there;    if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.If I rise on the wings of the dawn,    if I settle on the far side of the sea,even there your hand will guide me,    your right hand will hold me fast.If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me    and the light become night around me,”even the darkness will not be dark to you;    the night will…

Birthright (Genesis 25:1-34)

So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.  There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.  If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise. Galatians 3:26-29 Sermon Notes

Matriarchs of the Promise (Genesis 23-24)

And this is the testimony: God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.  I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.  This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.  And if…

Trusting God All the Way (Genesis 21:22-22:19)

I lift up my eyes to the mountains—    where does my help come from?My help comes from the Lord,    the Maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot slip—    he who watches over you will not slumber;indeed, he who watches over Israel    will neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord watches over you—    the Lord is your shade at your right hand;the sun will not harm you by day,    nor the moon by night. The Lord will keep you from all harm—    he will watch over your life;the Lord will watch over your coming and going    both now and…

God’s Promise Fulfilled (Genesis 21:1-21)

Tell me, you who want to be under the law, are you not aware of what the law says?  For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman and the other by the free woman.  His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh, but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise…Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.  At that time the son born according to…

A Matter of Trusting God (Genesis 20:1-18)

And have you completely forgotten this word of encouragement that addresses you as a father addresses his son? It says, “My son, do not make light of the Lord’s discipline, and do not lose heart when he rebukes you, because the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.” Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father?  If you are not disciplined—and everyone undergoes…

Shall Not the Judge of all the Earth Do What Is Right? (Genesis 19:1-29)

Since it is a righteous thing with God to repay with tribulation those who trouble you, and to give you who are troubled rest with us when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven with His mighty angels, in flaming fire taking vengeance on those who do not know God, and on those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.  These shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, when He comes, in that Day, to be glorified in…

What We Believe and Take a Stand On (1 Corinthians 15:1-8)

“Fellow Israelites, I can tell you confidently that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.  But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on oath that he would place one of his descendants on his throne.  Seeing what was to come, he spoke of the resurrection of the Messiah, that he was not abandoned to the realm of the dead, nor did his body see decay.” Acts 2:29-31 Sermon Notes

A Proper Response to Royalty (Mark 11:1-11)

Rejoice greatly, Daughter Zion!    Shout, Daughter Jerusalem!See, your king comes to you,    righteous and victorious,lowly and riding on a donkey,    on a colt, the foal of a donkey.I will take away the chariots from Ephraim    and the warhorses from Jerusalem,    and the battle bow will be broken.He will proclaim peace to the nations.    His rule will extend from sea to sea    and from the River to the ends of the earth. Zechariah 9:9-10 Sermon Notes
